Here is the excerpt of the interview:
The book titled 'Conversations with Waheeda Rehman' by author Nasreen Munni Kabir was launched this evening by the actress.
"I remember when I was working with Guru Dutt I had incorporated a clause in the contract that I would have the final say on the costumes and won't wear costumes that I don't like. He (Guru Dutt) wanted me to watch his films which I did, but I was adamant about having the clause," Rehman said at the book launch event here.
"I didn't want to wear a bikini as I feel I don't have the figure. In fact I have never worn a sleeveless blouse also be it in films or in my personal life," she said.
When asked about today's actresses, who wear bikini on screen, Rehman says that times have changed and that those who have figure can afford to wear it.
Rehman was also sure she won't change her name as was the case that time with actors like Dilip Kumar, Madhubala and others.
"People told me my name was long and lengthy and had asked me to change it. That time change of name was a fashion then as actors like Dilip Kumar, Madhubala, Meena Kumari had changed their names. I was adamant that I will not change my name as it was given by my parents," she added.
